Even in that Justin Wong set, ChrisG was just shaking his head the entire time.
And this was in losers. His first match on stream was against Marvelo in winners pools and dude was shaking after every match, trying to calm himself down, wiping the sweat of his hands and stuff. He was easily winning but he was a nervous wreck.
Every single EVO man he gets the worst nerves. I am afraid to say it but it really looks like ChrisG is past his opportunity to win an EVO now unless he completely remakes himself as a player.

Yeah Chris G doesn't seem like the most mentally strong person going by that clip, it looked like he wanted to give up like ten times in that match. If I had to guess he's probably way too critical of himself and lets minor mistakes ruin his day.
Seems fair

And I think that's one of the reasons why people were so impressed by Gamerbee doing so well against Momochi. You got one of the best Marvel players in the world being a nervous wreck when in any other tournament he probably would've been fine.
nothing to come at as the list is so generic
Woah CCUURRRAAAZZZZYYY list you got there man...
Too safe.
holy fuck this is sad

Where's Mike Ross :^)
Seemed like his mind was all over the place. He was probably getting hit by Super after Super or losing characters left and right.
Lmfao!!! oops wrong dude.
Damn Morridoom making grown men cry.
How Chris gon lose to his own shit. No wonder it hit so hard.

Lol. The video uploader set the genre of this as "Comedy".
Good to see that RF had a crew on the other side of the setup. The crowd behind him all being Chris G supporters had to have made that pressure intense.
Europe has the problem that their top players aren't use to fly to many tournaments besides Luffy, Ryan and Problem X (last couldn't make it to EVO).
Look Phenom for example. He has places top 17 at EVO and he didn't go to any premier or ranking event (And he's on a eSports club). Or Valmaster, who didn't go to Hypespotting (And he's sponsored).
Most of them just go to Stunfest and Red Faction (Which isn't a premier event due Milan Games Week taking that spot)
So if that doesn't change, they have low options to make it in.
I'm really sorry for him. He puts so much work into it... But man, always surprise me that this guy has such talent (Along with Justin and Sonicfox the most talented FG player in the USA) and such weak head... And he hasn't work on it since today...
In the other hand, it's so funny RF reaction. He looks like a guy that has seen something supernatural

man I feel bad for chris
why'd japan have to take marvel from him too
why'd japan have to take marvel from him too
"yeah but the marvel 'gods' clearly didn't care anymore!"
AMA: Dios X said:- How does it feel to indirectly level up the scene by making chris ragequit at SCR to found morridoom and to indirectly nearly kill marvel with said morridoom?
"I ended up playing him at winners side of my pool of SCR and my stick was acting up, i wasn't getting jabs and I would get butterguns with doom instead of H footdives and it cost me that set. Chris was using Firebrand and ryu at the time and my team, well, with the additions to UMVC3, everything on my team just got buffed to be honest.
I ran into him again in losers finals and ended up with another stick borrowed from a friend and won the set pretty convincingly, just being lame, zoning, floating away with storm, ect.
I remember after it was all over, I went out into the hallway where they had sofas and stuff to relax and Chris was sitting there, looking down with his head in his palms, with this "i can't believe this" look on him. My day was done for Marvel at that point, so I went to play Skullgirls and eat In-N-Out and all that jazz. I came back like 3 hours later, and Chris G had not moved from that spot. Still sitting there with that look on him.
I think I made him snap. So yes, its my fault. Im sorry guys."

You never know what other stuff can be bothering people. It's probably not just the videogame.

Can't go wrong here, these three guys have have all shown themselves to be unstoppable for a good period of time. I'm happy that Momochi was able to put an Evo championship under his belt this year, I think the way he's been playing, he deserves it.
Out of the three, who would you say dominated for the longest time? I didn't know too much about Daigo post SF4 and that famous parry against Justin Wong in 3rd Strike. I do remember a period where Infiltration could just not be beaten, it was looking quite sad and ominous at every event tbh.....
flux and cross respectively
two zero players, rip
cross vs chris was onstream, flux vs champ wasn't
Judging by how well Cross knew the match up, it' not surprising he won against ChrisG.
Flux winning over FChamp is surprising considering FChamp was whooping him at FGTV. I guess that's the difference between at home play and EVO play.
I stated before EVO started that FChamp isn't as strong going into this EVO because he missed a lot of tournaments and was lacking that tournament edge. FChamp thought he could make that up by a couple of weeks of grind but it doesn't compare to people like KBR or RayRay who were grinding the whole year and going to max possible tournaments.

This has always been Chris G. He has always been his own worst enemy in that he defeats himself with crippling insecurities when he makes a mistake. He doesn't recover once he starts bashing himself over a mistake...he breaks his own will into pieces and is usually busted pretty hard.
Remember when he took on PR. Balrog early in UMVC3's life and in a heated Grand Finals ended up getting Shinshoryuken due to the input leniency system? He just ...stopped hitting buttons and teared up. He kept repeating things to himself the rest of the match and took his hands away.
Chris G is a guy that I wish had someone there who could reach through his own criticisms to hug him out of those moments at tournies. He needs someone who can make him return from his own doubts and criticisms in those moments, get him back out of his head and get him back into the moments in front of him and away from those behind him...as is once he disappears into that area he just sort of spirals away from everything around him and falls apart.
Even Justin seemed like he was skipping tournaments as well. I wonder if they found out some new tech that they wanted to keep secret but over estimated their utility? Would be sad if it was just hubris that made them slack.

I always felt like Chris needed friends more than he needed sponsors, honestly the one dude I thought would benefit more from a EMP "development contract" than a esports sponsorship for a legit organization.This has always been Chris G.

cross is RF's eternal demon, this is the third year in a row that he's eliminated RF at EVO and i'd imagine they play often enough back in japan too
champ vs clock is an insane match, clock wrecked champ really hard
also, champ lost at evo to neutral jump-> footdive a ha ha ha ha

But you can get your own code easily...
You can hold back new tech. It isn't an excuse on its own.

Guess he was the character Ono hinted at for Brazil? Strange that they debuted him in the New Zealand stage, though.
I didn't say that it excused them, just that it might have made them even more confident.
And now we have the game footage
Check dat edit, he has a ton of Maori stuff on him too I read, so now I'm totally confused.
Maybe it's like T-Hawk who's a Mexican Native American.
or he has someweird split personality thing idk

USA vs. Japan 4v4 for $2k
haven't started watching it yet bc holy shit at that runtime
i think it's ft8 eliminations in 3/5 sets where you can only pick surviving team members until everyone's gone and it resets

yeah, jumping is actually a trap vs hulk much of the time, his airthrow ability is really gross (dash+jump has incredible burst speed and goes really far) and he capitalizes on your commitment to a jump by being able to press forward and most likely hit you or lock you down- see how rayray and jwong kept getting clipped in that manner
Yeah, that's what I meant. Or Aztecan would probably be more specific.

It's not dreads it's braids btw, it's why his hair does that when he V-triggers.
